28J.4 JOINING AN EXISTING PORT AUTHORITY.
1. A political subdivision which is contiguous to either a
political subdivision which participated in the creation of the port
authority or a political subdivision which proposes to join the port
authority at the same time which is contiguous to a political
subdivision which participated in the creation of the port authority
may join the port authority by resolution.
2. If more than one such political subdivision proposes to join
the port authority at the same time, the resolution of each such
political subdivision shall designate the political subdivisions
which are to be so joined.
3. Any territory or city not included in a port authority which
is annexed to a city included within the jurisdiction of a port
authority shall, on such annexation and without further proceedings,
be annexed to and be included in the jurisdiction of the port
authority.
4. Before a political subdivision is joined to a port authority,
other than by annexation to a city, the political subdivisions
comprising the port authority shall agree upon the terms and
conditions pursuant to which such political subdivision is to be
joined.
5. For the purpose of this chapter, such political subdivision
shall be considered to have participated in the creation of the port
authority, except that the initial term of any director of the port
authority appointed by a joining political subdivision shall be four
years.
6. After each resolution proposing a political subdivision to
join a port authority has become effective and the terms and
conditions of joining the port authority have been agreed to, the
board of directors of the port authority shall by resolution either
accept or reject the proposal. Such proposal to join a port
authority shall be effective upon adoption of the resolution by the
board of directors of the port authority and thereupon the
jurisdiction of the port authority includes the joining political
subdivision. Section History: Recent Form
